Description for The Billy Palmer Chronicles
Paperback. The bumper book of Billy Palmer: following our hero from his apple-scrumping childhood in post-war Somerset and his coming-of-age in the Soho of the swinging sixties, to his romp through '80s New York and his final return to London Num Pages: 544 pages, ill. BIC Classification: FA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 197 x 130 x 36. Weight in Grams: 438.
Billy Palmer grew up in a sleepy rural village, but his dreams were always for something else, something beyond the world he knew. As a child, this desire for the unexplored got him into trouble, as a teenager it drove him to adventure, and as an adult it propels him across the Atlantic to the dazzling lights of Manhattan, where the excitement he's craved seems finally to come within his grasp, but at what price? Engaging, evocative and flawlessly paced, The Billy Palmer Chronicles is a pitch-perfect tale of one man's search for the life he's imagined.
